The true genius of a great manager is his or her ability to individualize. A great manager is one who understands how to trip each person’s trigger.
I like touring. It’s like a school trip.
It’s my biggest fear that one day I’m going to trip on stage.
Far be it for the public schools to teach this, but the U.S.A. was founded on basic Judeo-Christian principles. Don’t believe me – take a trip to Washington D.C. and tour the Supreme Court building. There you will see a sculpted copy of the Ten Commandments on the wall.
There’s always the challenge of trying to do a road trip picture with a big group of cast and crew, because it’s just not efficient to go to every single place in the order that they would go.
Everybody goes through a lot of the same things, and I talk about those, and that’s the key. You have to connect with your audience, and I might take them on a trip with me, tell them I went here and I went there and they’ll go with me, you know, to hear the stories.
I have never taken a road trip. Unless you count Los Angeles to Vegas.
I remember a trip to Malaysia to visit my dad’s family when I was eight. It was Christmas and they roasted a whole suckling pig on the fire and it made me nauseous.
As social media grew and people learned of our travels, my wife would get requests from friends for suggestions about their travels. So she would help them connect with the right people and set up the right trip.
Any holiday seems like a guilt trip.
I trip over my legs all the time. I’ll wave to somebody, look up, and end up eating pavement.
Traveling gave me the opportunity to reinvent myself. You can imagine my excitement when, one year after my bone marrow transplant and two years after my cancer diagnosis, my doctors gave me permission to take my first big trip since cancer. Freedom, finally!
I vividly remember early on in my career when I was eight months pregnant, working literally around the clock, and worrying that each trip to the restroom or my need to catch the occasional catnap was causing my colleagues to question whether I could keep up.
If you’re running a race, and you’re looking at the lane to your right or your left, you’re gonna trip instead of… focusing forward.
If you speed up your trip, you’ll miss a lot of interesting sights and also wear yourself to a frazzle.
Skating takes up 70 percent of my time, school about 25 percent. Having fun and talking to my friends, 5 percent. It’s hard. I envy other kids a lot of things, but I get a guilt trip when I’m not training.
I just yesterday returned from a trip where I photographed a woman with two children whom I photographed first when she was the age of the older of the two children.
Schools used to fund-raise for luxuries, like a trip to the water slides. Now, we fund-raise for things we have to have.
I love Tokyo, I’ve been several times. The first trip was just weird; it was a weird time. It was in the ’90s, and it was different then.
People used to come home from school and plop down in front of the TV and religiously watch ‘TRL.’ It was a moment in time that I think a lot of people have a lot of fond memories of. It’s a fun trip to take down memory lane because it was a great time for a lot of people, bands included.
I’d love to do Shakespeare. I’ve been asked to do Malvolio but for one reason or another haven’t been able. On a school trip to the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford I saw the great Emrys James as Feste and it’s always been a role I’ve coveted.
During a trip to Iraq last fall, I visited our theater hospital at Balad Air Force Base and witnessed these skilled medical professionals in action and met the brave soldiers whose lives they saved.
My first trip to China was in 1975 when my father was the ‘bicycling ambassador’ representing the U.S. in Beijing. This was a time towards the end of the Cultural Revolution where there were very few personal liberties, China was pretty much closed off to the West.
The song Dakota was first written in Paris. I was doing a promo trip. It was snowing and the hotel room was really cold and boring and for some reason I just had a go of the guitar and the song came pretty quick.
There’s no way to play it cool when you meet Paul McCartney. You just start sweating; you trip over your words. Everyone kind of reverts back to being a 10-year-old girl. You can’t help it. He’s one of the only people on planet Earth that everyone knows who he is. Everyone.
Kissing could have begun as a way of sniffing out who’s who. From a whiff to a kiss was just a short trip across the face.
I did a ‘Love Boat!’ And based on my trip on the ‘Love Boat,’ I said, ‘I’d just as soon not do ‘Fantasy Island.’
Regarding comments attributed to me in the Los Angeles Times – allegedly made on a bus trip from Germany to Holland in 1998 – I emphatically denounce such comments as false.
I have this fantasy of my older days, painting or sculpting or making things. I have this fantasy of a bike trip to Chile. I have this fantasy of flying into Morocco. But right now, it’s about getting the work done and getting home to family. I have an adventure every morning, getting up.
The vast majority of Americans perform sophisticated digital tasks on a daily basis. Grandmas and grandpas e-mail digital photos of their cruise trip and IM their kids in school. So a politician admitting that he or she can’t bother to learn those things indicates a horse-and-buggy mentality.
The time to enjoy a European trip is about three weeks after unpacking.
I remember once when I was working on a magazine, and one of the male editors was going on a field trip with one of his sons. The office was full of, ‘He’s such a good dad,’ whereas I came in late from a doctor’s appointment for one of my children and was asked, ‘Where were you? You’ll need to make up the time.’
My first joke that ever aired on ‘Late Night’ was for a list of ‘Top 10 Least Popular Summer Camps.’ My contribution – ‘Camp Tick in beautiful Lyme, Connecticut’ – squeaked in at No. 10. Like a trip to Camp Tick, my time at ‘Late Night’ faded into memory like a short session at a dicey summer camp.
Personally, I don’t take holidays; I go on trips. My idea of relaxing is taking a trip that isn’t commissioned. I’ll work just as hard, but without that nagging pressure of fulfilling a commission. Now that’s what I call a holiday.
Very occasionally, I wish I was French. The fantasy usually materialises just after a holiday, when I dream of living by the warmth of the Mediterranean, or after a trip to Paris during which I indulge fantasies of being a Left Bank cafe-bohemian.
My first experience with gymnastics was when I was in daycare. We took a field trip to a gym, and I was hooked.
If you are willing to take the trip through ‘Analogue,’ you’ll be rewarded with some of the best writing in gaming today and a look into the future of what kind of meaningful stories video games are capable of telling.
Arguments of convenience lack integrity and inevitably trip you up.
I’m homesick everywhere I go, but England has a negative effect on my spirit to a profound degree. That trip from Heathrow into London is worse than the flight over there. It’s just so grey, and I’m not a pub person, and the traffic in London gives me a heart attack. It’s not a comforting place, on any level, to me.
Beginning with a trip out to Ellis Island, I saw for myself where thousands of European immigrants took their first steps onto American soil, bringing with them nothing but their ambition: people such as Erich von Stroheim and Adolph Zukor.
Texas has leadership that’s motivated by desire to take care of the people that they represent, not by some power trip that they have on being able to tell other people how to live their lives.
On a recent trip to New York, I bought myself a seriously denim jacket that my daughter begged to borrow. I refused! They are so cavalier with my stuff, the kids – Oh my god, I am turning into my mother!
I’m old enough, by a long shot, to remember going to the library and spending days researching. If I was looking for a line from a poem or something else I needed, that would be the trip I would have to take.
